New US Trailer for Terry Gilliam's 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote'

"Sancho!" Screen Media + Fathom have revealed the brand new official US trailer for Terry Gilliam's long-awaited The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, the film he's been trying to make for decades with doomed productions and other setbacks delaying it over and over. Gilliam's The Man Who Killed Don Quixote finally premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last summer, where it was also threatened by a lawsuit that almost stopped it from showing in France at all. But it played, and it's now getting a release in the US as well. The film is about an advertising executive who jumps back & forth in time between 21st century London and 17th century La Mancha, where Don Quixote mistakes him for Sancho Panza. Starring Jonathan Pryce as Don Quixote, and Adam Driver as Toby, with a cast including Olga Kurylenko, Stellan Skarsgård, Rossy de Palma, Óscar Jaenada, Jordi Mollà, Jason Watkins, and Sergi López. This wacky film really is a delirious dream, it's incredibly ambitious and a crazy mess, but there's so much he tries to throw in anyway.

Here's the new US trailer (+ poster) for Terry Gilliam's The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, on YouTube:
